3D pulse sequences enable high-resolution acquisition with high SNR and ideal slice profiles, which however, is particularly difficult for diffusion MRI (dMRI) due to the additional phase errors from diffusion encoding. Here we proposed a twin-navigator based 3D diffusion-weighted gradient spin-echo (DW-GRASE) sequence to correct the phase errors between shots for human whole-brain acquisition. Moreover, we tested whether acquisitions may impact the fiber-tracking results by comparing the 3D-GRASE with 2D-EPI using the fixel-based analysis, which indicated a significant difference between the 3D and 2D sequences in several microstructural parameters of the long cerebrospinal tract and splenium of corpus callous.
